Shop owner Wendi Koletar is a woman who inspires many adjectives: “She’s such a visionary,” “Wendi’s a total BOSS,” and “She has the best taste of anyone, ever,” are just a few of the descriptions I got when asking some of our mutual friends about the owner of style mecca Kick Pleat. With a gorgeous new 3,400-square foot […]
They say that nothing makes you feel better than buying a new lipstick, and I’d have to agree: it’s the quickest, most affordable “splurge” that can improve a bad day and make you feel instantly more confident. But it’s equally great to have one go-to lip color in your arsenal that can always be relied upon to […]
ed. note: Thrilled to finally share a piece from a good friend who happens to be one of the best writers I know on the topics of dating, singledom, and life as a modern woman. Since so many of my single friends are wondering if it’s still possible in this age of dating apps to meet someone IRL, […]
My love affair with figs started just a few months ago after trying them for the first time (I know, late to the game) and now I’m doing my best to make-up for lost time by including them in just about everything I make — which is totally doable given their mildly sweet and versatile flavor.

Last summer, I had a serious cold brew coffee addiction. Once (sometimes twice) a day, I’d leave our offices to take a “walk,” which really meant stopping by a high-end coffee shop and shelling out $3 or $4 per trip. Think about that. $4—sometimes $8—of my daily budget went into my caffeine fix. That’s like […]
Whoever coined the phrase that being the one to end the relationship is “just as hard as being broken up with” has obviously never been dumped. For the rest of us, life and love can be a bit of a roller coaster… and as far as relationships go, there’s nothing that hurts quite like the […]

Our slideshow format has […]
When it comes to movie sets we want to live in, no one does it quite like Nancy. It’s like her films connect directly to some mysterious part of the female brain — whether it’s a quaint English cottage, the perfect NYC brownstone, or the coziest ranch style home, she just gets it. We’ve been obsessed with her interiors […]
There’s a time and a place for a good beauty splurge, for sure—think your fail-safe foundation that costs more than a few bucks, or a pricey lipstick that makes you feel like Wonder Woman. But for your everyday staples, the offerings at your local drugstore are better (and cheaper!) than ever. Drugstores are where are […]
So often when we think of being kind, we think of BIG things: donating your lotto winnings to charity, quitting your job to join the peace corps, giving all of your savings to a family in need. This kind of thinking can be paralyzing, and even a bit of a roadblock for those of us who are […]
A few weeks ago I went down the Facebook rabbit hole, somehow finding myself rereading a conversation between myself and a girlfriend from 2006 (my senior year of high school). With each line I read, I grew more convinced that there was no possible way I had written those words — they were petty, gossipy […]
